Over 400 ācontributors and partnersā have been paid over ten million dollars for their creations ever since Valve started letting fans design ā and sell ā Team Fortress 2 gear.
In highlighting the sum, Valve pays particular attention to the users behind the recent Robotic Boogaloo update, which was made by around sixty fans and raked in over $250,000.
Valve takes a 15% cut of every item it sells in the game, meaning that the company has made a solid $1.5 million profit of that $10 mil, just by selling items it didnāt even make.
Clearly, I am in the wrong line of work.
